All Rights and Privileges under the Fraternal Charter Restored to the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Virginia. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green and Other Officers Restrained. Other Vital Questions at Issue to be Decided by the Court--Mr. Justice Gould Hands Down Decision. VOLUME XXXI, NO. 11 A SW The Sup Action All Rights and H Knights Other Vital G The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, in session in the city of Washington, on Friday, January 30, 1914, after hearing argument in the application of the plaintiff for an injunction, in the suit of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, of the Grand Jurisdiction of Virginia against the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, better known as the Supreme Lodge and against the officers, S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor; Joseph L. Jones, E. A. Williams, A. H. Newton, L. M. Mitchell John H. Young, E. E. Underwood, George A. Watty, J. G. Lattle, J. H. Ward, S. A. T. Watkins, Robert K. Jackson and Henry James, decided and ordered that the injunction be granted and that a restraining order be issued against the Supreme Lodge. PICTURESQUE SCHEME. The scene was picturesque to say the least. Mr. Justice Gould, who handed down the decision sat, wearing the judicial robe of his office. On the left hand side sat the attorneys for the Supreme Lodge, while on the right sat the attorneys for the Grand Lodge of Virginia. In the first row of chairs sat Grand Chancellor John Mitchell; Jr., Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, Thomas M. Crump and Past Grand Chancellor R. C. Mitchell. Others were there and the scene was impressive. None of the officials of the Supreme Lodge was present. This was the sequel to the Baltimore session of the Supreme Lodge, when the Supreme Representatives, John Mitchell, Jr., Thomas M. Crump B. R. Jefferson, M. D., Thomas H. Wyatt and their Alternates, William M. Reid, D. C. Johnson, R. C. Mitchell and U. S. G. Patterson had been denied admission to the sessions of the Supreme Lodge by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, which action had been subsequently sustained by the Supreme Lodge. The Grand Lodge of Virginia was represented there by Attorneys William M. Reid of Portsmouth, Va., Hon. Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore, Md., J. Thomas Newsome, Esq. of Newport News, Va. and W. H. Stanton, Esq. of Pittsburgh, Pa. The case was heard by the Committee on Appeals and Grievances, which Committee not only sustained the Supreme Chancellor, but recommended that the Charter of the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias, be revoked and the Grand Lodge dissolved. This report was adopted by the Supreme Lodge, by what was alleged to be a unanimous vote, the report being held up - until late Saturday night until nearly half of the delegation to the Supreme Lodge had left for home. SERVED THE NOTICES. Immediately, Attorney Stanton, who was also a member of the Supreme Lodge began serving notices of a suit upon each officer of the Supreme Lodge, the same being set for September 25, 1913 in the United States Circuit Court in the city of Richmond. It was afterwards ascertained that the Supreme Lode and its officials could not be compelled to answer summons at that point and unless they voluntarily came into Court, no process against them could issue. The services of Messrs. Smith and Gordon of Richmond were secured and the bill drawn for presentation to the United States District Court of this city was re-drawn. The services of Hon. Clarence R. Wilson, United States District Attorney of Washington and Paul E. Lesch, Esq. of the same city were secured. SUIT,ENTERED IN WASHINGTON. They became counsel of record and on December 2, 1914, suit was entered in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. James A. Cobb, Esq. of Washington and William H. McCard of Baltimore, Md.

C., Feb. 4.—The funeral of Miss Minnie Douglass, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mack Douglass of East Florence, which took place at Trinity Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, January 25th was beyond doubt one of the largest and most impressive funeral services yet witnessed in the city. Although the day before the weather was quite disagreeable, long before the sun rose on Sunday morning the cloud had rolled away and as the morning sun began sending forth its illuminating rays of light, the shadowy mist which had volled the stars during the night at once began to disappear, and when the city church bells began to announce that the religious services at the house of God were near at hand, one of the most beautiful Sabbaths of our Southland was upon us, ready to make the funeral services of our departed friend, Miss Minnie Douglass, impressive and lasting. At three o'clock the bell at Trinity Baptist Church began tolling. At this time the sad thought soothed upon the waiting congregation that the remains of Minnie Douglas were nearing the apacious brick edifice, erected by the members and well-wishers of Trinity Baptist Church and dedicated to the services of God. And when the pastor, Rev. C. T. Taylor accompanied by Rev. W. S. Thompson started down the nisies the only seats vacant were those left for the family at the front on the right. The following acted as pall bearers. Dr. Tobias Gallant, Dr. J. - Wilson. Mr. John Buchanan, Mr. Isaac Cherry. Mr. Eugene Williams, Mr. Leroy Allen. Then the flower girls, Miss Carmelle Levy, Bessie Nelson, Florine Harvey. After which the following family and relations: Family.

THE WHIP An Exciting Tale of Loye and Adventure Founded on the Great Play of the Same Name Copyright, 1912 by Cecil Raleigh and Hamilton by arrangement with the Drury Lane Company of America and Arthur Collins, managing director of the Drury Lane theater of London. SYNOPSIS Lady Diana, dabared from seeing a trial of The Whip, meets a handmade amateur artist near Lord Branaster's estate. He goes away with a strange dark woman whom Lady Diana, after sister of Jocko Karnis, is leavens of Tom Lambert, The Whip's trainer. Captain Sartorius, Lady Diana, cousin, has a surrogate Myrtle Anne, sister of Jocko Karnis, Amanda Sartorius, more stable information about The Whip. Lord Branaster, the artist, is injured in an automobile accident. The strange woman, Mrs. D'Aquila, visits his beloved Lady Diji rejects Sartorius. Jocko Karnis suspected of selling stable secrets about The Whip, harms that his sister, Marian is guilty. Lord Branaster cannot remember the past, Sartorius, who covers Roy, Vernor Haslam, plots a fake marriage between Branaster and Mrs. D'Aquila. Branaster and Lady Diji are in love Mrs. D'Aquila publicly denies that she is lady Branaster, artifying everybody. Lady Ditta Branaster the Whip will win the Two Thousand and one race Branaster makes a collection that at least odds with Kelly, king of the bakers. Lambert twowheels Sirtfie and Mrs D'Aquila plotting to have The Whip fitted in a railroad wreck engineered by sarcortis CHAPTER XI Locked in the Chamber of Horror. The bedside retreat of the Hon. Mrs. Beamish Tom Lambert monghed long and loud, repelling some of her phrases of pity for the old woman who had coldd her. Finally his miracle over, he put one leg partially across the pury box rail, intending to leave the piece, took out Mrs. Beamish and have a good laugh at her expense. But the values of Sartoris and Mrs. Apulia outsider determined him and again from his taste to a likeness of his conception of way. The new Dr. Cipion was quite removable when Sartoris and the woman who maintained that she was the wife of Beamish came, into the chamber of horrors. "We shall be all right here," she said. "I suppose there no chance of our getting shut in. Theres a mother here about the hydrine door closing automatically after the bell rings. "Only to frighten the bumpkins, be responded." and add to the horrors. BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS The New Dr. Crippen Was Quite Immobile. It did close they'd hear us shout, I expect. The chance of it had impressed the woman. "They wouldn't," she said. "I noticed that. There a muffled door behind, and on the last stroke of the clock every attendant will be rushing out for a last drink. Saturday night, you know. I don't want to be locked in here until Monday." "In the dark, too," commented the other. "If it comes off I'll sit and hold your hand." Directly beneath Lambert and in the same spot formerly occupied by Mrs. Jennish Mrs. A. Aquila seated herself and muffled the captain to her side. "Well, sit and talk quickly," she said. "I'm in a hurry. I've brought you all I could spare." She held out a number of banknotes to him. "Notes. I thought you'd prefer them 300—toward that interest." "Shan't ever be grateful enough," he said. "Quite sure you won't," she responded. "I'll give you, something in return," he went on gloomily. "How sweet of you. What is it?" "Bad news." "Good grievious." "That home of Reverley—The Whip—has been tried—a dier—the Two thousand a certainty." There was one moment while Bartoris was giving this piece of stable information when Lambert. The Whip's trainer, had much difficulty in remembering that he was an image of wax. He moved suddenly and had great difficulty in not leaving his perch and giving Sartoris the thrashing he knew he deserved. But he believed that, since they were now on the subject of his beloved horse, his patience would be vultly rewarded. Mrs. Apulia had not seemed started at what Sartoris had said. "That doesn't sound bad," she said. "If one had a bit on at, say, twenty-" "No chance," came from the captain. "I must have told Francaster, for he caught Kelly, the big bookmaker, half drunk and off his guard and rushed him with three big bets. If The Whip wins him a fortune." "Brangester," she exclaimed in a voice of gloom, now thoroughly aroused. "Yes. He'll have lots of money to fight you with. If the horse gets beat he'll be nearly broke." In deep and dark, thought the woman now was. "Yes," said Sartoris, equally gleaming, "That's what he knew, what a ship I knew said. When Kai had was favorite for the Lager he got baited in his box." "In his stabby" she asked. "No, horse box on the railway," he returned. "I wonder how it was done," she said in a tone that might have stood for the suggestion of an evil deed, so sinister it was. Sartoris shrugged his shoulders. "Accident," he said in his thin voice. "I'd give something for another." "You would?" she asked in a popular tone. "Yes," he said frankly. "I've had a plunge on something else. I want to see the Whip beaten. I must see her beaten. That's why I told you. You've got quick wits." "The jockey," she suggested. "Honest that." "The stable?" "Gunnel the soldier's harent Heverley's pet fox." "Yes, the train's the place?" she said, mystically getting to her feet. "Puzzled, Sartor, that answer." "How? Her, you probably her clown of a train's inspector, will travel with her in it, one behind, and slip it at Martor where the down express will be put?" "Slip it," she said, while her thoughts were busy on some sudden problem. "Yes, he explained." "It what they always do, don't know, (pull a writing thing that ends the opening, and the ball is her shoes down and stop at the intersection while the train runs through." "Has has it ever gone wrong?" she asked. "It was to argue his suspicious. What?" "The slip business. What would happen if the horse were slipped on say I take your turn and left standing on the tie." "The next train would see the red tail light and step to be said. There was a world of potential tragedy to the woman's voice as with the uncle of a destiny of evil she went on. "But in the dark, it will be dark if some one led dropped off the tail light before the next train could story." "The boy would be smushed," he said directly. "And the tie off." She pressed for a full stop, then she went on. "The toes are not too fast through the tunnel," she then thundered of times. "I have to do the thing it's easy to say from car right to car left, along the foot plate to drop on the red tail light to pull the slip and set the next train." With her hands brought violently together the last instance finish her sentence. "When you come to trust" demanded Sartorius suddenly. "When I need to do" she said, "I only trust myself." *But you couldn't be beginn "No, but you could easily if you were on the train," she said. "If you joined it battling hard and none knew it you could do it if you want it done so badly and you have the plink." She was interrupted by the ringing of the bell which gave notice that the hydraulic door would close shortly. "Ah, the door!" she exclaimed. Then in a low but strong tone she went on: "What's going to happen? Is The Whip going to win, or will there be an accident?" They left quickly, as they did not wish to run any risk of being locked in when there was "work to do" as she had phrased it. For a full half minute Lambert starled after them; then he leaned over the jury box and shook his fist in the direction of the retracting pair. "No, there won't my pretty lady, he said about; the solitude and the company of the waven images inclin- ging him to hear the sound of his owl voice. "There'll be no accident Why? Because that clown of a train or Lambert will stop it because he'll send his house safe to the post first and he'll talk to you two after tel- you what he heard tell you to your face what you are." The second bell rang, and immedi- ately without waiting to allow any who might be in the chamber of horrors to get out, the unseen attendant on an other door pulled a lever, and the door closed with a hard bang. Lambert was locked within the chamber of horrors, with no way of escape until Monday. "Here, stop that!" he roared as he got down from the jury box and tried to open the door. "I did you there some one inside—open the door at once—don't play the confounded fool. I tell you it's most important—let me out." But he could not bulge the door. Then he put his hands to his mouth and asked: "Help, help, help." All of the lights except a few near the ceiling were switched out, adding to the terror of the trainer's situation. "Don't do that—don't do that," he fairly howled. "Stop It—don't leave me here in the dark. I shall go mad—alone here, in the dark with these—alone for a day and a night and another night till Monday, while" into his frenzyed mind there came thought of The Whip. At the picture of his beloved and first member of the Beverley string lying upon some railroad truck dying, his terror increased as he哭ed: "They are smashing my home—they'll smash The Whip-while I'm locked up here they shant-let me out, I say-lay me out!" The manifold tortures of the situation were too much for the trainer and he sank slowly, sobbing and screaming while even the lights in the ceiling faded away. Mrs. Bemish was decidedly uneasy as she sat in the morning room at Palomont-t, on the evening following the looking into the chamber of herrors of Tom Lambert. Lord Beverley had been furious when Lambert failed to appear, and Lady Dy was even then at the station to see The Whip put safely in the horse box for the trip to Newmarket. Once or twice she had been on the point of telling the matriarch of Lambert's plight, but she had decided to hold her tongue. She had recognized the posse's trainer almost the moment her eyes had fallen on the place in the jury box where Mr. Crippon should have been, and she had deliberately planned to stay late in the chamber that Lambert, who knew nothing of the hysterical room, would have no time to escape and would be obliged to remain there from Saturday night until Monday. Now Bayley had just left her. He had threatened to give Lambert the suck, and she knew that the trainer's place was in danger. Her conscience sniffing her she glanced up at the clock. "Live and twenty past 7," she said aloud in her hair, dry voice, with its not of a bee abundant humor. "The cock clock last night. Tom to ten twelve fours and ten to half past seven on another nine twenty one hours alone in THE WOMEN'S HERALD "Tired of being a wax work?" that chamber of horrors! Well, server him right, and a good lesson for him Let him dream of his Mythle! She tried to turn to something else but in spite of her her thoughts would go to Lambert "Poor death!" she sighed: "how him gry he must be! I wonder if he any elegs with him" And then though she had quite deter minded to do no such thing, her hand almost of its own velation and walt certainly no willing force from her took up the telephone and her voice called for Mine. Tussaud's. Without much difficulty she got the place and explained to the night watch man that she had reason to believe that "a Mr. Lambert" was locked in the chamber of horrors. She hold the time for a time and finally had the sat-faction of hearing a humble, discourse voice at the other end, which will have a cold defence in it beneath the veer of humility "Ah, Lambert! she examined over the wipe. "They've got you out, cut. Tired of being a war work?" But the trainer paid no attention to the jibing quality of her tones and plunged into a resentful of what he had board while he posed as Dr. Tippon. "It's not true," she exclaimed over the wire. "You're inventing it to get at me! Tom Lambert, will you swear it is true?" Lord Heverley entered during her concluding words and she explained rapidly to him. "What cock and bill story this? he demanded. But after another short talk with Lambert she continued to Heverley. "It's true. He says he overheard a plot to kill The Whip. They mean to uncouple the horse box at Mamiel junction just the other side of the tunnel and leave it where, the down express "I run into it and smash the whole thing up." Lord Beverley now talked with Lambert in his turn. "If this story of yours is true, whose plot is it?" he asked. "What, Captain Gariorial Greville? Are you mad or drunk, sir, to make such an accusation? You'll take your path upon it? Going by the same train as The Whip—prevent the horse's starting at any cost. Yes; I'll do that." He snapped up the receiver when they heard the whistle of the train as it left Falconhurst station. "You can't. There goes the train," lamented Mrs. Reamish. "Too late!" exclaimed Beverley. "I wouldn't have that horse hurt for three times what she stands to win. Good heavens, Betty, Harry Amos and the others—we must save them." But Mrs. Brehmilh was already on her agitated but rapid way to the door. "And we will!" she cried. "It is my doing. My stupid jealousy has led to it all. It's my duty to put things straight, and I'm going to do it." "How?" quizzed the marquets. "Give me the big motor and a couple of men," she said. "and I will race the train and get to the tunnel first." CHAPTER XII. hurst station had prepared the horse box for the reception of Lord Beverley's pride rather hurriedly, for they were anxious to see the car attached to the train which, having arrived ahead of its time, was being held, for they knew that once through the tunnel the down express would be only three minutes behind them. They had set the red tall light and answered the slip cord which would release the coupler when it was pulled, and now they were waiting for The White to be led aboard. Lady Diana and Harry Ainson were standing at the intelligent animal's head wide the tail of her goodbye to the race she loved and upon whose successful performance at Newmarket depended so much: "Gossily," she responded to the horse softly, "You're in your first great race. Win it; we want you to carry my heart!" Almost it seemed though The Whip understood, for she cared with her muzzle the hand of the girl. Then Lady Tracy turned to the jockey. "Goodbye, Harry," she said. "Go and win-for the heart of the stable--for the honor of our colors-and-for my trial bless you and good luck." And then she stood aside. Rapidly Harry and the others led The Whip into the car wagon, had already been basked down, while Harry waved) his hand and Diana Diana and the rest on the pennant responded, the train which had pulled down bore off the car and its lead of passengers. Harry, who knew that the succeeding days would be of great activity, went to bed and bunk in the compartment in front of the little old English car, where the train attained a high rate of cool and entered Fabcorst tunne. He promised himself that he would keep one eye on the horse, even while the train was moving and but little danger was to be apprehended from those to whose interest it might be to try and harm the Whip, but he soon dozed. They were in the tunnel when Captain Kartops opened a door of a carriage which he had pulled to blush. He had joined the train further to the north of Eide Forest and none of the coal combustion jacket had known that he was in the trap. Now in the darkness of the tunnel he crept down the footplate which run just below the side doors and which had given opportunity for many a crime. While the passengers were absolutely unconscious of its hurting progress past them he ceased along the train, clinging and swaging. In this fashion he passed by the door of a compartment in which the house Verteus Hussan was thinking of him at that very moment and hurting to himself weakly that the bed Van drawn into a path whose issue he could not see. Perhaps the presence of the man who had become so confused his master, was rescued simultaneously by the clergyman for at the moment that Sartorius passed by his compartment the shoulder of the substitute van were drawn into a sling and shudder but to be conscious none gave no warning. Sartorius while not a cluck was nevertheless something of an athlete and the passage on the floor gave him no particular concern since he had accustomed himself to the swaving and the exact counterpoint it was necessary to impart to his own body. Now he stood at the very end of the footplate which was on the carriage test the horse box. Soon he had passed to the end of the horse box. Quickly he raised the tall light and swing it in a circle for a few seconds. He wished to hurt it in such a way that the same would surely be extinguished, so he wanted no warning to be given to the train behind which was to complete his project. He recoiled that if he merely dropped the lump in to the line there was a bare possibility that it would continue to burn. His semicircular swings were justified a moment later, when he flung the lump to the line, for there was a sudden impact, and then no light showed. With one foot resting upon the carriage and one upon the horse box, he pulled the slip cord and had the instant pleasure of seeing the horse box and its tight drop behind. The Wip would not run. The race would be lost. He would be saved. from Kelly's clutches. Bruncaster would be impoverished and the marriage of Lady Diana and Bruncaster put far off. Quickly he slipped along the footplate and regained his own carriage and compartment without his absence having been noted. With a speed that gradually fell away the horse box, with The Whip inside and Harry fast asleep, rumbled through the tunnel and came to a stop on the main line, directly in the path of the first train which should come along. Pear Mandeld junction. The whistle and the sounds of the rapid approach through the tunnel of the down express came very plausibly through the darkness, just as a motor containing two men and Mrs. Beamish dashed around a bend in the road and came to a palpating, panting stop near the horse box and at one side of the line. Mrs. Beamish and her two escorts from the establishment below stairs at Falconhill darted across the line and poured upon the door of the horse box as the brain in the tunnel moved deeper and deeper. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. The Horse Box and its Freight Dropped Behind. Finally Harry put his head out of the window and the frezzled voice of Mrs. Beamish came to him: "Quick, Harry! The down express on you! You're cut off and The Whip and you'll be killed!" she shouted above the rear of the oncoming train. Harry cast one glance behind him, saw the rushing express and then threw down the sidedoor of the horse box. The Whip was led across the line and to safety under the very glare of the headlight of the express. Not a second after this the engine of the express plunged into the car just left by Harry and The Whip and was detailed, while the engine driver fell, badly hurt, to the ground. The light impediment of the horse box served to denil several of the carriages behind, which had been traveling at high speed, and a number of passengers were hurled out or thrown violently against partitions and other immovable objects with the train. Amid escaping steam and a fire which had started among the wreckage, the work of sparer was begun. Among those who labored none worked with greater courage than the Rev. Verner Haslam. His train had been stopped after the crash and had backed down to render aid. It was he who crayed among the splintered, burning mass on the line to bring out many of the children who had been in the express. On the day after the wreck and the day before the great race The Whip made her triumphal entry into New market. The march toward what all in the Riverley stables felt to be the victory model for the day when the race was escorted by tots, racing men picters and youngsters into the yard of the Rutland Ame hotel, with several polite men to keep the crowd at a safe distance from the pride of Beverley. After Lady Diana had greeted the house upon which so much of her happiness depended and the animal had been led into the box in which all of the Riverley winners had been quartered. Tona Lambert and Mrs. Beamish were alone in the great yard of the old inn. Lady Diana had exclaimed before she went into the hustley that The Whip would surely march to victory on the following day, and now that they were above the trainer turned agape upon the humbled and contorte Mrs. Beamish. "And if it not victory," snorted Lambert to Mrs. Beamish, "it will be yourult, Mrs. Beamish." "Mind!" she exclaimed. "Yes. Do you think it did our crack any good to gallop, her over railroad lines and sleeps?" "There was no time to put down a brussels carped," she responded in her voice of acid. "Did you want me to leave her in the box?" "I did not want you to leave me in the wrong box," said the trainer with dignity. "In the wax works?" she countered. "Your own fault. Why did you go there?" "For an evening's pleasure," he saidullenly. "Well, you got it. Didn't you?" said this woman of torments. "Why should you be ashamed of it and hide?" "Because you're a suspicious mind," he said. "Because you're a guilty one," she shot back at him. The passage through the yard of Harry Anson gave him an idea. "Harry, my lad," he said, "if you can, just speak up what you've to say." The boy could and did at once. "I want to thank you, am'm," he said vigorously, "for what you did last night—for saving my life. If it hadn't been for you my sister would have been left alone in the world, alone in her trouble—" "Trouble! naked the older woman with a suspicious eye upon Lambert." "Yes, am'm. Wrong there has been, answered. Harry, "and shame, but it wasn't from Tom Lambert it came—but from the same hand as tried to wreck The Whip last night." "From Captain Bartorta" she half questioned, half gasped. "Yes, that's him," returned the jockey; "him as wanted me to pull that horse—him as would have ruined me—as he ruined her—my sister." Mr. Beamish was damnounded, but surprised as she wan't she managed to give a firm grip upon herself and come Around the bay. With her hand on his shoulder who said: "You're the best of them. I'm very, very sorry." If there is anything I can do—if presently Myrtle can have a new start in a how kind— "Oh, ma'am, if it only could be" the jockey said hopefully and longingly. "It shall be," she answered, without during to look at Laubert. "I know that I can promise as much as that for Lord Beverley." "Thank you, ma'am, from my heart and here," the jockey said. Harry Anson had fully served the purpose of the triumphant Tom Lam-bert, and he now found Harry only an obstacle in the path he planned to bread with—another. "There, there, that'll do, my lad," he said kindly, but firmly and finally. "You go and look after your horse." When they were alone once more, Mrs. Beaumil walked frankly to Tom, holding out her hand. But he turned scornfully away. "Tom, I'm sorry"—she began. But he was looking far from her. "Can't you take a hand when it's bad out to you?" she said. Lambert shook his head. "I was not suspicious, only jealous," she said. "and there's no love without jealousy." "Then I don't want love; I want comfort." returned Lambert. "I want comfort, carpet slippers and common sense—if the worst had happened it would have him at your door. Yes, your door and the door of the chamber of horrors—if you had not got me locked in." "You wouldn't have heard what Sartoris said." she took him up. "And then the horse would have been sninned. It was really a blessing in disguise." "A blessing," he said, niggrly, "you call it a blooming blessing to be locked up for twenty-four hours with a room full of horrors." "What do you want -suffragettes?" she snapped. "Just for one moment I sank to rest and found my head in the lap of the man that was being electrocuted. Just think of me all alone with those murderers. I cried myself to sleep, and when that man that you sent to unlock the door found me, there I was sleeping like a new born hube with my head curled up in the middle of a murderer's waistcoat. That's what I had for a night's pleasure, and that's what you call a blessing." Further resilient of his night of horrors was ended by the appearance in the yard of Sartorius. Lambert wanted a word with him, and Mrs. Behmish left him saying that he would find her, "where he ought to be, but never was, with his house." A Lambert, The Whip are used The manneur of Sartoris was measured and easy. Lambert looked him directly in the eye. "Yes, she has," he sputtered, "and she's going to arrive tomorrow, too, you interval sounded." Don't talk to me; don't you dare to show your ugly nose near my horse or I'll pull it for you." The smile of Sartoris was contemptuous. "My good lilot, you are very drunk," he said. "No, I am not," disclaimed the trainer "Then what the house do you mean ey?" "I mean," and Lambert sternly, "that I was at Mine, 'Two-Soos' on Saturday night 'captain Sartoris' close to your eow, at your back, and I heard every blooming word you said." Mrs. D Aquila had followed Sartoris into the yard, and she heard Lambert's last words. "Dear me, who is this creature?" she drawled, surveying the horseman through her glasses. "You'll jolly soon know tomorrow," the outraged and angry trainer said, "when you're both in the dock, mad name, and you hear what I've sworn— that you wanted it so badly—that you had the pluck, but there wasn't an ac- cident!" And Lambert, who knew that if he remained longer in the yard he couldn't keep from thrashing Sartoris, left abruptly. The captain was taken aback. "Did you hear that?" he asked the woman: "Your own words. The beast must have been there really—hidden—we never saw him and he heard everything." "What does it matter?" returned the sturderied nerver woman: "He's no witnesses. And it's one oath against two, I shall swear that I was never there in my life." "Is it worth the trouble?" "My dear Greville"— "You've forgotten the accident." "I've not." I always thought it possible," she said. "I didn't," he returned sharply. "I thought that when the horse box stopped on the line the lid, the trainer, whoever it was—could get out—for help—at any rate, jump out when they heard the next train coming. I never thought of a dozen poor devils—torn and cut and thrown about—annahnel." "All that class passengers," the woman answered with a shrug. "Dreadful things are always happening to that sort of people." "Quite so," returned Sartorks, "but you mustn't kill 'em for all that. I only thought I was going to do for the horse. What's the punishment for manslaughter?" Mrs. D'Aquila laughed outright. "Fiddlesticks," she commented. "They can't prove anything. Where's your motive?" "I'll tell you," he said. "The truth will come out if any of these people die. It was my work. I tried to kill my cousin's horse. Kelly, the bookmaker, has laid thousands against it. In Kelly's pocket is a bill of mine, with Dl's name upon it. She did not put it there. If the Whip does not win that bill comes back to me. There's my motive. If The Whip winneth he'll give the bill to Dl." For the moment she abandoned her daughter of him to him. "And if you have any sense," she said "you'll be in Paris tonight—clear away by tomorrow"— "That won't prevent the horse from winning." he said, "won't stop Kelly. The minute Keverley says that bill the chain's complete. I shall prove a criminal—n train wrecker—nearly a murderer. I shun's hideout." "Don't be abused," she advised. "I'm not," he answered sullenly. "Do you think I'd pass the rest of my life thought? Begging, hunted—no, thanks. THE "That's Harry 'Anson' a revolver. He left it in my rooms." I've had my time—not half a bad time. It must end some day and I shan't heatsit. Sartoris had drawn a revolver and was looking at it. "What's that?" asked Mrs. D'Aquila, involuntarily, reaching out. "That"—he smiled bitterly—"that's Harry Aanson's revolver. He left it in my rooms. Poor justice if I used it. I'm afraid, Nora, the chain's too strong. There's no way out." She looked at the weapon in his hand and then at him quickly. "Yes, there is." she exclaimed suddenly, "and almost a certainty. That thing made me talk of it. You told me Harry Aanson came to your chambers and threatened you. If I were you I should go in fear of my life." "I?" "And I should swear it-forcibly." she went on. "before the nearest magistrate in London and come down to borrow with detectives and arrest him on the course just before the race begins." "They'd get another jockey." "To ride The Wildp? You know that's impossible." Sartorius took a deep breath of relief. "That's true," he exclaimed. "Very well," she said philosophically. "No race is over guilt it's host. Here is your chance. Almost a certainty. Take it and win." "By heavens, I will!" he said fervently. "Then put that thing away," she said, indicating the revolver. "Don't lose a minute. I'll walk with you to the station. Go up to town at once and do your work. We'll see Brail caster broken and broken yet." As Sartorius and Mrs. D'Aquila stroked off together toward the station Mr. Beumish and Tom Lambert watched, them from the yard of the inn, which they had entered soon after the others left it. "There they go—a pretty pair of beauties." They ought to marry each other," said poor Tom, who had marrying on the brain whenever he found himself alone with his Betty. "If you'd seen them stand there no bold as brass," he went on, "and sword me out—as if I'd dreamed everything I board them say." "Quite sure you didn't, Tom?" also-anked tartly. "Just as sure as I am that I didn't dream that I saw that old woman A "Put that thing away. Don't lose a minute." Glech from you everything you had with you," he said. Then his mind wandered into another channel as he thought of a day years ago. "Remember, Betty," he said, "what a day we had haymaking in Purrington Marina's window. You were a little Nice acquaintance and worked a daisy. Not a answer day doesn't blow—" "Mr. Trum," he said, trying to stop him ```markdown ``` bonerapple sweet detty 2 Old memories were stirring in her too. "It was, Tom," she said. "Ah, there's no place like a bridge for honeybuckle?" "Remember, Betty," you wanted a bunch, and I climbed up to get it for you? She sighed. "And tore your hand with a great bramble, your little hand—and I tied it up for you with my bankerchief?" "And while you were doing it I—" He finished his sentence with an expressive pantomime of kissing. "Don't, Tom," she begged as old memories seemed about to make her give to Tom his long deferred "Yes." "I can't help it, Betty," he said. No longer Betty called upon the institution and the volume which had prevented her many times From forgetting that she belonged—by marriage—to the almost princely house of Beverley and so could not marry one beneath her in station. "Save me, Burke," she said. "‘Beverley – Geoffrey Vandekeur Delacour George Jocelyn’” she was repeating the titles and the names of the Marquis of Beverley as they appeared in “Burke’s Devine” that she might conquer her passion for Tom Lambert. “I’m going,” she lamented and then continued to quote. “Tooth Marquis of — K. G., K. C. B.; K. C. S. I.” But Lambert overcame the last low obstacle in his path of love, selzed her, drew her to him and kissed her, just as he should have done long ago. And to his wonder she returned his lip salutes. “Oh, Tom—I mean Mr. Lambert…what have you done?” she cried. Then both of them become aware of the presence in the yard of Lady Di Ann. The girl was laughing at them. “I’ve compromised you in public and now you’ll have to marry me,” said Lambert, with a laugh. “Do you know, Betty, I really think you will,” put in Lady Di Ann as Lambert and Mrs. Benchall retreated into another corner of the card. But Lady Diana had spent time to give to their affair, for a moment later Lord Brancaster appeared. He had received a letter from the girl telling him how the lily, Verner Haslam had been taken to Falcon burst after the wreck, and how an nerved he had seemed. He had really appeared on the point of telling something to Lady Diana, but the next morning had left Falconburst without a word. Lady Diana had added in the letter that Lord Beverley had applied for warrants for Sartoria and Mrs D'Agulla on the strength of an affidavit made by Tom Lambert. Brancaster had rushed to Newmarket the moment he received the letter. ket the moment he received the letter. The young people were commiserating with one another on the flight of Haslam whet that individual entered the stable yard. He was pale and agitated and even trembling as he advanced to the young people. "Ah. Mr. Haslam," said Lady Diana, "I was just talking of you. Why did you run away from us so suddenly at Falconhurst?" "I was afraid"—began Haslam and then stopped. He raised his hand despairingly. "Of what?" she asked gently. "What I had done," he said. "You should have been proud. It was splendid work. You saved all those children. You crawled into the wreckage when others feared to do so." "And can't save myself—my soul—my life?" he said in agony of spirit. "Come, come," Where is the danger? asked the young English girl. A terror almost such as might come to one demented at imaginary pirates crossed the palid face of the man in clerical garb. "Sartoris—Greville Sartoris," be said, "the dervil—look—at my throat next—save me"— Mr. Haslam, who is in no danger here, Brancaster said reassuringly, "Why not? Does he stop at anything? went on the frightened vicar. "What do you mean? demanded the young ear, now determined that the scene should cease or that the clerical should explain himself. "That I am a coward, said Haslam. "Fear sealed my lips. Fear opens them." There was a murmur of astonishment from Briccaster and Lady Diana, and then the pale clergyman hurried on: "That was his work, wasn't it? You told me—the accident?" Tom Lammert had left Betty's side and was now openly listening to Haslam. "I know it was his work, sir," intermitted Lumber. "I heard it planned between him and Mrs. D'Aquila." The year was looking straight before him. In the vacancy he seemed to borrish nights, hear terrifying sounds. "Murder!" he muttered. "A dozen lives—a hundred—what did he care? He would have taken them to gals his end. Would he stop at mine?" "Why should he want?" Braccaster began. "My silence forever! The silence of the grave," eried the wretch, almost beside himself in his cowardly passion "Because I helped his villainy—he drove me to it by fear. Then held me dumb—by fear. Now I have seen his work, his plan—complete—reckless—more resolute, the clean the form, bodies on the line. We seen the fire—heart the children, weum what is my life to him? I saw me. Save me, if you will. There I am, with between us I Of what? asked the young man, going chooser to Haslam and looking at him peculiarly. Haslam raised his head, looked directly at the questioner and then at Lady Diana. "The lie that wrecked your lives," he said. "There was a marriage. That is true." "Between me and Mrs. D'Aquila!" demanded Brancaster. "Between the woman—and one who took your place," confessed the weckling. "Who was it?" came from Brancaster. "Sartoria," said Hadam. "I did the rest." he added in a trembling, low voice: "wrote it in the ```markdown ``` "And can't save myself—my soul—my life." book—lies: *Rwora to it after—lies:* Fear drove me, as it drives me now.

Stay with us until the truth is clear and proved." [TO BE CONTINUED.] Old Roman Laws The old Roman laws, according to Colubuon, conferred on the husband complete empery over the wife. All she owned or earned was vested in him, and he acquired the same rights over her person and property as if she were his natural daughter. The wife, on the other hand, acquired all the rights to a child and to her husband's name and succession in the event of an intestate estate, and she could exercise all the privileges to which her sex admitted. The power of the ancient Roman father over his offspring was originally perpetual, nor could the child be emancipated from the father's control during the father's life except by that parent's consent, nor did he become sur jure until the father (being himself sur jure died, when the son was emancipated by the simple operation of the law). In those brave days the father had legal permission to courge his children or to send them, lettered like slaves, to work on his estate or even to kill them, choosing whatsoever means for their taking off he thought proper. He Got Even. They were touring through New England, and a flat tire brought them to a stop on the edge of a farm district which was not included in the itinerary. While the men watched the repair work and helped the women went to the tiny store near by, which was a fine specimen of the real country type. "You have lots of signs up," said one of the women to the store keeper, "but none to show the name of the proprietor." "We had one," said the man, "but I took it down to get even." "I don't understand," said the woman "Well, you see," the man replied with a twinkle, "I was in New York last spring, and walking on Fifth Avenue, I came to a big store without any sign. I asked the man whose place it was. "You must be a jay," the fellow said. "Everybody knows that-- it's Blank's." Well, I was one who didn't know. Now I am even. I knew some one from New York would come here some day and ask about my place. Everybody around here knows Uncle Pete's place. We don't need a sign."—New York Tribune London's Lady Mayoream Among the privileges enjoyed by the lady mayors of London during her husband's year of office is that of entree at court. Instead of being compelled to take her place among the ordinary guests, titled and unatted, at court functions, she enters the palace by a separate entrance and is received by royalty before any of the other guests. What is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Not giving your whole, undivided attention to the task in which you have invested your life and money means that you are wanting your own precious time and that of others. Whatever you do, do it with your whole heart and mind or get out and try something else. It takes pretty nearly all of a man's time to perfect an undertaking, provided it be a big and worthy one to begin with. If it is no new buying unless you have something to bluff with, and then you have no need to. From South Carolina. (Continued From First Page.) seated on the rostrum: Revs. W. D. Humbert, W. S. Thompson, W. M. Howard, J. P. Alston, J. M. Green, Willie Robinson, C. G. Hinn, N. H. Cornell, Richardson and C. T. Taylor. Rov. W. D. Humbert lined the hymn selected by the deceased during her illness. Rev. W. S. Thompson read the Scripture lesson. Rev. C. T. Taylor selected a n-text the words found in 6th chapter of the Book of St. Luke, 47-48 verses: "Whoosomove cometh to me and hearth my sayings and do them, I will show to whom he is like: He is like a man which built a house and digged deep and laid the foundations and the arches and the stream boventhently upon that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded upon a rock." Short and pointed eulogies were delivered by Dr. W. F. Holmes, principal of the city graded school and the donor of the first diploma to Miss Minnie; Mrs. M. S.

Dickerson representatives of the faculty of Morris College. Miss Dickerson spoke of her as a teacher of that institution, while the school was in its infancy. Rov. W. S. Thompson, pastor of Cumberland A. E. Church of this city told of his visits to the home of the deceased during her illness and also of his pleasant recollection of her prior to the time when her health failed her.

All apologizing her conversation in a few days before her death and of her conversion at Pisk University in the Spring of 1906 and of her worth as a teacher and also of her having graduated at the above University in the class of 1909 with the degree of A. B. at Nashville, Tennessee. He then directed the attention of his hearers to the meaning of the memorable words found in the text. Few men have had a greater opportunity to express the true meaning of the Scriptures as a waiting congregation of the petal of the "midnight" flower and forms drops so did the words of the speaker seemingly fall upon his hearers and form thoughts. The prayer offered by Dr. J. P. Alston, ex-Presiding Elder of the A.M. E. Florence, District was one sufficient to cause the wandering mind of a people to center in the promise to the lost sheep of the house of God, to encourage courage to do the things necessary that we might inherit eternal life. Rev Taylor, the pastor said he had preached time and again to the deceased. "But now I am preaching to you all." And as the evening sun gradually sank in the West, and the light of day grew fainter and fainter the voice of the speaker rang out on the church floor. Christ Jesus.

A citizen from a mountainous country where the chief occupation of the people was manufacturing, was traveling in an agricultural section of a country Southward. It was during Autumn when the leaves were falling and the squirrels and other animals of the forest had begun to store away food for the Winter. He made a mould he made away through the country, a vehicle he found himself late one afternoon in the enclosure of a farm whose owner was a man of means. He accepted an invitation to spend the night. In the twilight of the evening the fledging doors leading to the spacious dining room were open and the family with the invited guests were regularly covered with the best the market afforded, was spread before them. All having retired to the sitting room the stranger became the "star" of the evening. The night was cold and on the outside the roofs of the buildings began turning white, on the inside the time-piece was tickling its way to 12:00 o'clock while the man began gaping for "retirement." The next day the visitor "appeared" in every nook and corner of the farm. In the afternoon he followed the ploughman, to the field, and watched them sub-sell the land. Why waste the time and "talent" in this way? thought he. The trees have withered and died, the rooms of the farm have fallen on ponder crest where the western sun is sinking beneath the horizon, the evening star has appeared, telling us that Winter is nigh. To the owner of the farm he expressed himself thus: "I'd find something else for my plough hands to do, if no more than sharpen the ploughs. It is very no cessary and in the end," said the proprietor, "it will prove to be profitable. "With me it it was a question of profit. Years ago when a business proposition occurred to my mind, which necessitated my leaving home quite early one morning while yet in my teens to catch a Westbound train. The ghosts camping near the public road had no need to be taken so they might see who I was because it was a cold December morning and the sound of my shoe helps on the frozen ground "stirred" things. As I trudged along over hills and dales watching the stars, twinkling stars in a clear Southern say, my heart throbbed with expectation of the future. After I had gone about half the distance I found myself passing through a dense forget. I was almost numb. The road was covered with pine straw, causing my feet to slip raked pile of the woods built in a natural fire in the woods and after warming continued my journey returning on the next day all "healt." With me it was a question of profit paying little or no attention to obstacles. "Why do so many unnecessary things," said the proprietor of a large manufacturing establishment to his foreman. "It is necessary for him to start. Smaller businesses if I wish to know men of the Bible, it is unnecessary that I stop people daily to tell them that I am a Christian when my daily walk and conversation prove who I am.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1911. The Norfolk, Va. Journal and Gufde showed commendable activity in issuing a special edition of that journal last Monday. --- Governor William Hodges Mann will go into official retirement with more friends among the yeoman of the state, regardless of color, than any Chief Executive, who has ever occupied the Executive offices. He made many enemies, for the reason that he belongs to the positive type of statesmen and has the courage of his convictions. Still, his many visits among the humble and lowly, his intention to go where he could "do some good" will be remembered long after he has gone to his final reward. The action of Judge Mc Lemore last Monday in upholding the decision of Justice Barron of Norfolk, Va. is to be commended. It shows that citizens, regardless of race or color can sometimes get equal and exact justice. While Richmond and other cities of this commonwealth are groaning under the injustice and hardships of a segregation law, Norfolk, Va. is free from such a radical racial prescription. We congratulate both the white and the colored people of Norfolk upon the type of jurists to whom have been entrusted the handling of the legal affairs of that city. Attorney Tazewell Taylor and Attorney W. H. C. Brown were certainly the right men in the right place. Let us hope that the question is settled and will stay settled and that our white and colored folks will continue to live in peace and harmony, free from these abutilions of race prejudice which do so much to hamper and hinder the progress of both races. OUR NEW GOVERNOR It is now His Excellency, Henry C. Squam, Governor of Virginia. We hardly dawn. It necessary to express other than a positive opinion relative to the administration of the distinguished Virginia who now occupies the executive chair in this state. He is a gentleman of the "Old School" and will faithfully observe his cath and obligation to be the governor of all the people. His inaugural address was a fine declaration of principles and it indicates that he will be prepared to state his position plainly upon all public questions. Our Supreme Court of Appeals in this state has commanded the respect of the entire country on account of the kind and calibre of the jurists elevated to that august tribunal, and every indication seems to be that this type of statesmen has also been selected, when Hon. Henry C. Stuart was duly indicted into office. "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again." The eternal years of God are hers; But error, wounded, writhes in pain And dies among his worshippers. —Bryant. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, in session at Washington, D. C., on Friday, January 30, 1914 handed down a decision and issued an injunction, and a decree was entered Friday, February 2, 1914, restraining the Supreme Lodge legally known as The Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia and the officers of that corporation, both individually and collectively, their agents and attorneys and all others on their behalf from declaring or treating the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, of the jurisdiction of Virginia as dissolved or its fraternal charter revoked and from declaring or treating the lodges, subordinate to the Grand Lodge in the State of Virginia and the members attached to the same as not entitled to the rights and privileges of members of the Order of the Supreme Lodge and from calling on members elsewhere to regard and treat such subordinate lodges and members as not so entitled and from attempting to enforce the decree or enactment of the Supreme Lodge, purporting to revoke the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia and from circulating any proclamations or letters addressed to Grand Lodges, subordinate lodges and members of the Order, calling attention to or calculated or intended to carry into effect and enforce the attempted revocation of the fraternal charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia and from setting up or attempting to set up within the State of Virginia, a Grand Lodge and from doing any other act or thing on the assumption that the said Grand Lodge of the State of Virginia has been dissolved or that its fraternal charter has been revoked. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A. and A. Its Grand Chancellor and Its Supreme Representatives did all in their power to avoid this litigation. It pleaded at Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1911 for its charter and constitutional rights. It was humiliated and vilified. Its representatives at Baltimore were flagrantly insulted and the Supreme Chancellor denied to them their rights under the charter and the Constitution of the Supreme Lodge, ruling that they were not only not entitled to voice and vote but were not entitled to remain in the Supreme Lodge. The argument made there by Virginia's Supreme Representatives will be long remembered. Upon the sustaining of the Supreme Chancellor by the Supreme Lodge, the Supreme Representatives, consisting of Thomas M. Crump, E. R. Jefferson, M. D., Thomas H. Wyatt, John Mitchell, Jr. and their Alternates and Attorneys, retired. The Grand Chancellor in a vain hope that they might be able to show to the Supreme Lodge officials that they were legally wrong, had retained able colored attorneys, William M. Reid, of Portsmouth, Va., Hon. Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore, Md., William H. Stanton, of Pittsburgh, Pa. and J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, Va. No threats were voiced by any of them, but efforts were made to avoid litigation and to reach a basis of a compromise. Grand Chancellor Mitchell authorized those attorneys to submit in writing a proposition to place three thousand dollars in the hands of a responsible third party and to institute a friendly suit to decide the legal questions at issue. This was not accepted, but the Virginia delegation was kept out of the Supreme Lodge until about ten o'clock Saturday night after fifty-three members of the Supreme Lodge had left for home out of a total vote of one hundred and nine and during the enforced absence of the Supreme Representatives from Virginia as they were not permitted to enter the Supreme Lodge sessions to defend themselves. This action was the result of a bold, barefaced attempt to collect fourteen hundred dollars per term by taxation from Virginia. The only return, therefor was a pass-word, framed and proclaimed by the Supreme Chancellor. The taxation prior to this attempt was one hundred dollars, an increase of thirteen hun- dred dollars in Virginia, and an aggregate increase in the supreme juridiction of about fifteen thousand dollars for the purpose of paying high salaries to the Supreme Lodge officials and to their supporters. Can colored people continue to condone and tolerate this species of wrong-doing? Can they afford to visit upon each other the very subversion of fundamental rights and unmerited persecution of the same kind of which complaint is made against the Negro-haters of this country? We believe not. It is with sincere regret that we must struggle on with this contest and battle for our fraternal rights to the end. The property rights of the grand jurisdiction have been recognized and relief for the time being afforded. It has taken many years to bring the controversy to the present stage of settlement, and it may take many more before a final decree is obtained in this remarkable case now pending in Washington before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. "A man is thought a knave or fool Or bigot plotting crime. Who, for the advancement of his race, is wiser than his time. For him the hemlock shall distil. For him the axe be baret. For him the axe be barret, For him the gibbet shall be built. For him the stake prepared. Him shall the scorn and wrath of men. Pursue with deadly aim. And malice, envy, spite and lies Shall deserate his name. But truth shall conquer at the last As round and round we run. And ever the right comes uppermost And ever is justice done." --WIL Carleton. Virginia Theological Seminary and College In Most Properous Condition. The Executive Board met Monday, January 26th, to hear the quarterly report of the President of the Institution. Having heard the report, it was pronounced by the Board as the best ever rendered. The report showed that the work was in splendid condition viewed from any angle. That there is a large, loyal, noble purposed student body present imbibing the spirit of the institution preparing to go out to enter life, and aid the streams of racial thought, and better conditions generally regardless of race or creed. Young men and women for whom the future holds much that goes to make life sublime and worth while; again young men and women of high aspirations, Christian plenty, courage and perseverance, who respond to a noble impulse, feeling that God has a work for them and a place somewhere in the ranks. · FINANCIAL CONDITION. The report showed that since our State Convention met in May about Ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) had been raised from all sources and spent in the maintenance of the educational work. The president stated that approximately Twenty-five thousand dollars (25,000.00) would be required to take care of the current expense for the collegiate year, and that he hoped to have every dollar of it raised, so as to come to Roanoke at the next State meeting clear of debt. To the delight of all, President Woods, reported that there was not a dollar of unsecured accounts resting on the institution. The floating indebtedness that had annoyed the work for several years, amounting to approximately Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) had been entirely cleared away. Again an indebtedness of Two Thousand, five hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) secured by notes had been paid, and to-day only a small mortgage, that can be cleared away in one year, is now the only debt. The current expenses for the present collegiate year are settled to date. NEW HALL. The new hall that is now in course erection is being pushed rapidly to completion. It is the earliest expection of those in charge to turn it over in June that the Women's Educational Convention of Virginia, which is to convene in June with the Institution, may hold its sessions in the Auditorium. The workmen are now on the third story. This building will add greatly to the work of this institution in every way, Deacon Adolphus Humbles, the great financier is jubilant over the progress of the work generally. As Manager and Treasurer of the institution he has worked faithfully to add to its progress and well learned success. He is upvifting the construction for the New Dormitory and has now turned over enough money to warrant its completion. THE COMING STATE MEETING. The splendid and unrivaled success of the educational work, ought to serve as a mighty impetus to the lovers of racial Institutions and as never before, this year, the great Baptist host ought to bestir themselves. From Virginia to Maine the great Baptist Family needs to march to the bugle call. Dr. Galvin our worthy President of the State Convention has sent his appeal for $10,300. This amount is conservative, it is absolutely possible to realize, it is needed and ought and must be raised. Never before was the outlook so bright; never was the time so propitious. The star of hope is swinging out clearly before us. Every prediction based upon actual conditions, is favorable. Duty calls, and every Negro with many blood in his yelas, who loves and is interested in this work, ought to answer to this roll call. Surely men who have achieved so much for God and humanity, will again be found on the firing line. Nothing but success is ours glorious achievements still awake us. We know no failure, nor discontentments. We believe, and The Mechester House, North-West New York, New York Madame, The Duper with your husband HOUSEHOLD expenses mount up.

President Wilson issued an executive order at the White House removing all restrictions against the exportation of munitions of war into Mexico from the United States, placing the contending elements on a basis of equality with respect to the purchase of arms and supplies in this country. The executive order emphasized that it was the desire of the United States to be in the same position of neutrality toward the contending factions in Mexico as were the other powers. The embargo has been lifted with the idea that, rather than adding to bloodshed, the importation of arms by hastening an end of the war will reduce bloodshed. It was said that the development would not affect the American embassy in Mexico City nor the American troops on the border. Foreign governments had been advised of the impending action of the United States through the embassies and legations abroad, and diplomatic representatives in Washington have been notified. Coming after a year of warfare and bloodshed, which began with the slaying of President Madero and Vice President Suresa after the street battles in Mexico City, the raising of the embargo marks a climax of months of strained relations with Mexico, during which President Wilson has retreated, that the United States would not recognise the provisional presidency of Victoriano Huerta in any circumstances and has repeatedly stated that the United States could recognize only those governments which were founded on "law and order." Represented exchanges of diplomatic notes, in which the United States plainly demanded the retirement of Nuoroa, were met with replies which denied the right of the United States to make such demands. The acceptance of the resignation of Henry Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mexico, which had proceeded most of the diplomatic negotiations, had surrounded the whole situation with a Finally after repeated exchanges, during which the foreign powers, even those which had recognized the government of Huerta, consented to let the United States take the lead, President Wilson went to congress and personally read an address Aug. 27, 1913, disclosing the entire correspondence with Frederico Gamboa, then Mexican minister of foreign affairs, and reiterating his belief that with a policy of "watchful waiting" on behalf of the United States the reign of Huerta must crumble. His position on the embargo on arms at that time the president outlined in his address as follows: "I deem it my duty to exercise the authority conferred upon me by the law of March 14, 1912, to see to it that neither side to the struggle now gain goin in Mexico receives any assistance from this side of the border. I shall follow the best practice of nations in the matter of neutrality, by forbidding the exportation of arms or munitions of war of any kind from the United States to any party of the republic of Mexico—a policy suggested by several interesting precedents and certainly dictated by many manifest considerations of practical expediency. We cannot in the circumstances be the partisans of either party to the contest that now distracts Mexico, nor constitute ourselves a virtual umpire between them." Following that declaration the barn upon all exports of arms and ammunition were put up tighter than ever and the activity of the border patrol was increased. The operation of that policy, the president believes, has been to create inequality instead of neutrality. SEND.BOY BY PARCEL POST Costs 18 Cents to Mall Him From Grandmother to Aunt. Mrs. E. H. Stalley, of Wellington, Kap., received her two-year-old nephew by parcel post from his grandmother in Stratford, Okla., where he had been left for a visit three weeks ago.

He rode with the mail clerks, shared lunch with them and arrived at Wellington in good condition. Pardoned by the President.

Declares If Congress Won't Have His Statue He May Go to Ireland and Be a "King For a Day." Heralded by a fanfare of trumpets and greeted by a crowd of hundreds, "Millionaire-for-a-Day" John Jay ("Butch") McDevitt, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., invaded Washington by special train. He immediately boarded an automobile and started on a four of the city, preceded by the Marine Mand. He made speeches, threw flowers to the children, hurled autograph post cards of his statue at the crowds which gathered to hear him, posed for his picture hundreds of times and a moving picture firm kept its machine in constant motion in order to note his every movement. The special train in which he started from his native city, Wilkes Barre, Pa., was halted for fifteen minutes at the Baltimore & Ohio station in Philadelphia by "Butch" McDevitt, long enough to permit a crowd of the curious to inspect the statue of himself that he would like congress to place in the hall of fame at Washington. The statue reposed on the observation platform at the rear of his special and bore a striking resemblance to the rather attenuated figure of the man who gained considerable notoriety by playing the role of a "millionaire, for a day" on Broadway in New York. Striking a statesmanlike attitude, "Butch" expressed the utmost scorn for Bryan, Roosevelt and other Americans, who, he declared, had not as much right as he had to be placed among the immortals of the hall of fame. "Some people think I am dippy," he said, "but take it from me, I am not. There is a difference between inexactly an eccentricity, usually a few thousand dollars. I like to be fed on nocturnity. I admit it. Others don't. "Bay, if congress won't have my status, I'll take it to England or Ireland. I think the best place for it would be Ireland. I would get a slice of ground and put it on it. I would like to go to Ireland and be a king for a day. I would certainly sit up the Emperor's seat." You will receive courteous attention and your patronage is earnestly solicited. Out of Town Orders Promptly Attended. If our prices are higher, you can go elsewhere if you can better them in the same grade and class of work. If our prices are lower, we stand ready to accept the business. McDevitt is going to ask for a conference with Speaker Clark and Vice President Marshall and request those gentlemen to allow him to place his statue in statuary hall. "If they refuse me," said "Butch," "I'll not feel grieved, not me; I'll laugh, and I will make the people of Washington laugh before I have them." J. S. Foster, of Belfont Park, a suburb of Washington, wrote a letter to McDevitt, in which he invited the latter to place his statue if congress refused permission, in Belfont Park. "It is being deserted," said Mr. Foster, "but there is plenty of room for your statue. Place it there and it will be preserved forever." Train Cuts Off Man's Head. Falling from a freight train in the Philadelphia & Reading railroad yard in Tamaqua, Pa., James Sherman forty-two years old, of Mahanoy City, landed under the wheels and was decapitated.

A Sure Thing According to a nurse at one of the big hospitals, a visiting surgeon recently caused a recent patient almost to collapse by losing with him after an operation. "What are my chances for recovery?" asked the patient. "Schedule" and the symbols "What do you mean by 'sought'? "Why, you have one whom the twenty for rescuery "That is not very encouraging. I can't see how my charges are spiended as you say. "Well, I explain" said the spienger. "In this particular case, it generally conceded that there is one chance in twenty that it might be to recover. The last time I explained I have operated from the complaint died, so you have the rest of the twenty who cannot be rescued. New York Tribune." Little Conversations "I know," said the instructor, "that a great many people object to music while they are distracted, but there are a great many others who like it. I think, at any rate, that the moral effect of music is good. For instance, it gives an atmosphere of friendliness. I might even say tenderness to everything." "Good!" said Rikks. "Tenderness is good. I wish you'd ask your orchestra leader to try a few bars on this steak, will you?" Pittsburgh Press Independent A large, simply colored man went shuffling down the road whistling like a lark. His clothes were ragged, and his shoes were out at the toes and heels, and he appeared to be in the depths of poverty for all his mirth.

THE NEGRO FARMER Something New: Something Needed A Paper That Helps People to Become Better Farmers is an Aid to the Church, the School and to the Secular and Religious Papers It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1914 SHREWD SAMMIS. The Elevator Eoy Picks Up a Couple of Foster Fathers. His Run of Luck Starts With a "Call Dawn" and Quick Revenge—A Chain of Events Which Leads Our Young Friend to Make a Resolution. BY M. QUAD. M. R. FLYNECKER of the fifth floor is another tenant who started out with the idea that he could put his iron heel on my neck. "Boy," says he one day, "I heard you asking the kid in my office questions, and I want to say that you are altogether too fresh." "Yes, sir," says I respectfully. Mr. Flydecker's sign said he was a "promoter." His office boy didn't know exactly what a promoter was, but he'd seen four or five men playing cards for money, and Mr. Flydecker had won all the big jack pots. I wanted to got eren, of course, and it wasn't long before four dominies called to ask for the Bible society office. Well, I got them into the cage and landed them on the fifth floor and pointed to Mr. Flydecker's door. 'They walked right in on a poker game with $50 on the table. I was pretty sure I'd hear from Mr. Flydecker, in about an hour he got A "A CRITAIN OLD REPROBATE." into the elevator, but instead of grabbing me by the hair he softly said: "Your immo is Sammia, isn't it?" "Yes, sir." "And you are fatherless and wrestling with a vituperous mortgage on the homecourt?" "That's it, sir." "I have no son of my own, and I'll adopt you and be a father to you. Here's a dollar for the mortgage, Sammis. You brought those preachers?" "Yes, sir." "And passed 'em in on me? You have not said anything to anybody?" "Oh, no, sir." "Well, you'd better let it go. If you were a talker I should not want to adopt you. Here's a couple of loose quarters, Sammis, and you may give my love to your mother." The other afternoon as I was taking old Mr. Hopkins up he said: "Sammis, there's an old bird in room 17, eighth door, named Fondick. He is always advertising for typewriters." writers went up there this afternoon." "Did, eh? The old vainlain! Sammia, if he saw a good looking woman get off at my floor do you know what he'd probably do?" "Yes, sir. He'd probably ask if she inquired for your room?" "Exactly. Sammis, and you would tell him" "That she inquired for room 32, where they keep Bibbies." "Sammia," he said with a beautiful smile, "have you a father?" "No, sir. He died in my arms about six months ago." "Then I will be, a father, to you, my boy, and any time you happen to need a coin or two don't hesitate to ask me. There are two or three others in this building that gossip about me. A son shouldn't hesitate to tell his father anything." "Then I'll tell you that Mr. Forsick said that an old mossback with grown-up children and a third wife who'd spend half his time riding up and down in the elevator with the girls ought to be tarred and feathered." "Did he call me by name?" "No, sir; he just said a certain old reprobate on the seventh floor." "Yes, he meant me, and by the brow of Napoleon I'll have revenge. Keep quiet, Sammia, and here's a dollar." or what was said heighed heavily. "Damn it, it's awful how those two old birds, so carry on, but of course we cannot be held morally responsible for their conduct. Should any good looking young woman ever ask for either of them you'd better my they've moved out." "The air, and warn them against pit old development." "Yes, Sammin, yes. It will be your duty. Here is a quarter, and remember truth is mighty and always brings its own reward." I shall stick to truth and pile up the quarters. SAMM18. The Elevator Boy. A SELF-IMPOSED PENALTY. The Unhappy Outcome of a Desire to Say the Right Thing. THE late A. E. Williams, general attorney for the Union Pacific railway, was once on a trip with a party of friends in a private car, and while in Denver one of the party, a man of convivial habits, came in the car into one night and found Mr. Williams playing solitaire. The convivial one was enough under the influence of liquor to be talkative and proceeded to tell Mr. Williams a long story of his domestic unhappiness. The next morning, when sober, he mentioned the fact that he had talked too much the night before and requested that anything he might have said would not be repeated. Mr. Williams, in order to relieve the man's embarrassment, said: "That's all right. I never listened to you and have no idea what you said." That night the man returned in the same condition. Looking sternly at Mr. Williams, he said: "Now, durn you, you said you didn't listen to me last night, so I'm going to tell you the whole story again, and you've got to listen."—Washington Post When Lovers Fall Out. "Speaking of Cupid's weapons," said the end man in the amateur minstrel show—"speaking of Cupid's weapons, Mr. Johnson, can you tell me de difference between a gal dat's been filted an a man dat's been filted?" "Why, Mr. Bones, except that in a case of filting some difference must necessarily exist, I—" "Ah ain't foolin', Mr. Johnson." "Well, then, Mr. Bones, what is the difference between a young man who has been filted and a young woman who has undergone a similar unfortunate experience?" "One is a cross bean, and the other is a cut loss."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Softer Snap. A couple of colored boys were discussing plans for a coming county fair, fair. "I got a job working for a cigar man," said one. "All I have to do is to stick my head through a canvas and dodge baseballs." "Huh?" sniffed the other. "I got a softer snap than that." "Whatin you getta do?" "My job is just like yours, only I don't have to run de risk ob gettin' hit by no busaballs. All I has to dodge is tomaters." -Youngstown Telegram Shop Talk. A woman stopped at a counter in a busy store one day and said she wished to look at some blankets. The tired looking clerk pulled down blanket after blanket from the shelves until there was only one left on the top shelf. Then the woman pleasantly remarked: "Well, I was only looking for a friend and didn't expect to buy," to which the clerk replied, "If you think she is in that other blanket up there I'll take it down for you."

AT a dinner party, in Washington Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, told how he came to receive his first political honors. "I had been a worker in the vineyard for a long time," he said, "and had never sought or expected any preferment from the party, organization. I was just a good working Democrat. When Mr. Bryan began to emerge as a public man and as a Democratic leader I got interested in him and became one of his champions and supporters." I became an ardent free silver man and a believer in unlimited collage at the ratio of 10 to 1. When it was time to select delegates to the Democratic national convention at Chicago in 1886 there was a fellow in my town who wanted to be sent as a delegate mighty badly. He went around to the state chairman to see what he could do. "I'm," he said, "I-1 want to be sent as one of the delegates to Chicago." "Well," said the chairman, "how do you stand on free silver?" "Oh, well. I guess I reckon I be heave in it all right, but I ain't no oi fool about it." "Well.' answered the chairman. 'you can't go.' "So they sent me," concluded Daniels. Sisterly Solicitude. Governor Donnie was reminiscent. "When I was a boy in school," he said, "we always had a lecture every Friday afternoon. One Friday a good oglist lectured about Niagara falls and told us that in the course of some 200, 000 years they would have worn their way back to Erie and that town would be left high and dry. Suddenly the lecture was interrupted by one of the girls in the class, who began to sob hysterically. "Why, Edith," cried the teacher, "are you ill? What is the matter?" "Oh,' waited the girl, 'my sister lives in Erie.'"—New York Globe. A Different Viewpoint "No, sir. I can't, and if I could I wouldn't. I have been lending you money for a year, and you make no effort to return it." "But I wanted to know if you would lend me"— "And I tell you beforehand that I will not." "Well, then, don't.

The one think that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jolted or else, but on the contrary, strong, red blooded, avid, imaginative. Germany is a terrific nation, hopeful, courageous, enthusiastic, orderly, self disciplining, at present anyhow, and if it can keep its place without engaging in some vast, self destroying conflict, it can become internally so powerful that it will almost stand irresistible—from Theodore Droser's "A Traveler at Forty."

Discovery of Turtle Soup. According to some authorities, Bristol has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle soup was invented by a seventeenth century mayor, who was also a shipowner. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that his worship would like to have it in his dishpond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet, and, demeaning that his guests might appreciate a new dish, he ordered the turtle to be stewed. The corporation was so lighted with the toxicity that it reelected his host to the municipal chair nine times running London Chronicle. Both Saw. Fortune Teller-1. a loss of money.

In a Bad Way. There is a Pennsylvania divine who is not averse to telling a good story at his own expense. Once at a mission meeting in Philadelphia which was attended mainly by sailors the good man had sought to adapt his remarks to his hearers by using nautical similes, and he ventured somewhat beyond his depth. "And now what shall we do—what shall we do?" "Nothin' doin', cap'n'" sang out one of the sailors. "You're in bad! You're goin' in starmore!"

Watkins to represent the defendant corporation. Both of these gentlemen are able colored attorneys. Subsequently Henry E. Davis, Esq., a very able white attorney of Washington was added to the legal array. Finally, Messrs. Wilson and Losch, on Friday, January 23, 1913 made application for a rule requiring the Supreme Lodge to show cause why a restraining order, better known as an injunction should not be issued against S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor and the, other defendants named in the bill of complaint. ATTORNEY MINOR'S ARGUMENT This was made returnable Friday, January 30, 1911 with the result above stated. It may be well to relate in detail the happening in Washington upon the occasion of the hearing. Attorney James F. Minor of the firm of Smith and Gordon was introduced to the Court by Attorney Wilson. Some discussion followed on account of the time limit allowed each side, which was only half an hour each. Mr. Justice Gould finally said he would allow forty-five minutes and Attorney Minor proceeded. He said that the tax levy by the Supreme Lodge of ten cents on the members of the subordinate lodges was in violation of the Constitution of the Supreme Lodge. The Grand Lodge was within its rights in protesting against it. VITAL ADMISSIONS He reviewed the answer of the Supreme Lodge in detail, saying that many of the vital points in the bill for the plaintiff had been admitted. He dwelt on the fact that the minutes of the Supreme Lodge at Indianapolis showed that the Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Green had appointed twenty-five District Deputy Supreme Chancellors and had ruled at Baltimore that all Deputy Supreme Chancellors had the right to vote. This was done over the protest of many Supreme Representatives. The Grand Representatives elected from the states by the Constitution numbered not less than two or more than four and the Supreme Representatives from these states numbered only, ninety-seven in all. The Supreme Chancellor had virtually made twenty-five votes at the start. EXCEEDED ITS AUTHORITY. Attorney Minor claimed that the Committee on Appoals and Grievances had referred to it the appeal of Virginia from the suspension by the Supreme Chancellor. It could not consider anything else and yet it had made a recommendation in its report that the Charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia be revoked and the Grand Lodge, dissolved. This report was finally adopted by the Supreme Lodge, in violation of the Constitution of the Supreme Lodge, which specifically provided that notice to the offending Grand Lodges and charges must be preferred through the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal and a reasonable time given to answer these charges. DENIED ADMISSION. Instead the Supreme Representatives from Virginia were not even permitted to be present during the hearing before the Supreme Lodge. The fact that Virginia had property rights had been conceded by the defendant corporation in their answer. Mr. Minor then read hurriedly the affidavits upon which the plea for injunction was based. They were from Richmond, Norfolk, Danville, Roanoke and Newport News. When he concluded, Attorney Henry E. Davis appeared for the Supreme Lodge. He declared that the Grand Lodge of Virginia had issued a scurrilous publication and he read extracts from it. He declared that its Chapter should have been revoked. The Committee on Appeals, and Grievances, to whom the case had been submitted had taken the proper action. It had recommended the revocation of the Charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia. This action had been unanimously ratified by the Supreme Lodge itself. They say that they had no notice. They did have notice and they were represented before the Committee and in the Supreme Lodge by four attorneys. WANTED SUIT DISMISSED. He contended that the suit of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. should be dismissed with coins upon the plaintiff. He declared that the Grand Lodge had $690 at Indianapolis on the tax and did not pay it. (This was an error on the part of counsel. The money was paid.) He declared that the Grand Lodge had not made any objection there. When Mr. Davis concluded, Mr. Minor arose for the purpose of correcting some of the statements of counsel, but Mr. Justice Gould made the remark that further argument was unnecessary. "This case," said Mr. Justice Gould, "resolves itself into the following points. Did the ( Supreme Lodge) defendant, corporation have the legal right to serve the tax on the subordinate lodge members? EXCEEDED ITS AUTHORITY. "Did the Committee on Appeals and Grievances have the legal right to revoke the Charter of the plaintiff? With references to the first point, I am not entirely clear and I shall reserve that point for a future decision. On the second point, I am of the opinion that the Committee on Appeals and Grievances exceeded its powers in recommending the revocation of the Charter of the defendant corporation." Attorney Davis was on his feet in an instant. "But your Honor, the action of this committee was unanimously ratified by the Supreme Lodge." "It could not be unanimous with members there objecting. That did not cure the situation," responded Mr. Justice Could. "All organizations of this character are bound by their Constitutions. The defendant was entitled to notice through the Supreme Keeper of Records and Soal. The charges should have been specified and time given in which to make answer and prepare to defend itself. It is not sufficient to say that the Supreme Lodge ratified the action. CONSTITUTION PREDOMINANT. That body was bound by the Constitution. It could not lift itself out of its dilemma by its own boot-strap. The restraining order will be issued. Attorney Davis asked if the action of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances on the suspension was valid and Mr. Justice Gould responded in the affirmative. This was the last case and ended the proceedings. Grand Chancellor Mitchell spoke to his counsel and a few moments later greeted Attorney Cobb and Attorney Davis, both of whom had made such a stubborn fight for their clients. Passing down the corridors sometime was spent with Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. He welcomed the Virginia. At 4:15 P. M. the train left for Richmond and the party way at the Union Station. That night was spent in Richmond. The degree was not entered until Monday February 2, 1914 and is published, in full in this issue. Norfolk (Va.) Segregation Law Knocked Out—Circuit Court Judge Sustains Lower Court. This morning at 10:30 o'clock, in the City Court Court, Judge McLemore rendered his decision in the long contested Norfolk Segregation Cases, sustaining the decision of Police Justice Darron, rendered last October 14th, that the ordinance was "void, unreasonable and illegal exercise of the police powers of the state." This leaves the city at present without any segregation ordinance, and marks a great victory for the colored citizens who have fought the measure from the first day of its enactment by the City Council. CASE UP ON APPEAL The case was carried to the Circuit Court by City Attorney Pitcher, who appealed from the decision of Justice Barron. The opponents of the segregation ordinance were represented by Capt. Tazewell Taylor and W. H. C. Brown, who appeared for the citizens committee representing the colored people of Norfolk and J. Eugene Diggs and James G. Martin who appeared as counsel for individual clients. CITY HAD NO RIGHT TO APPEAL. When the case was called this morning counsel representing the opponents of segregation raised the point that the segregation statute being pen al in its nature the city had no right of appeal, since the persons arrested under the ordinance had been tried before Justice Barron in Police Court thereby having been "once in jeopardy" and to be again tried for the same offense would be in violation of constitutional guarantees. City Attorney Pilcher vigorously opposed this contention and insisted upon the right of the city to appoint the case. After hearing the argument on both sides judge McLemore sustained the contention of Captain Taylor and his associates by rendering his decision which puts the president Norfolk segregation ordinance out of commission for all time to come. SUCCESSFUL FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE; The ending of the case marks the successful efforts on the part of Colored Citizens of Norfolk in their fight against injustice and proscription, and while all the Attorneys, the citizens committee and every one who assisted in the fight are entitled to the praise and thanks of the community, we feel that no one is done injustice when it is declared that the place of honor should be accorded to Captain Taxwell Taylor, whose remarkable argument before the Court of the first instance paved the way for the victory in the higher court—Norfolk.

The right of railroads to require no gross and whites to ride in separate conches was upheld by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday in its decision in the case of William J. Thompkins, a Kansas City colored man against the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railroad and the Pullman Company. The colored man sought to recover $50. 013.81 because he was put off a train at Vinita Okla., arrested and lined by a justice of the peace. On Now Year's Eve, 1910, Thompkins-took a Mo. Kan. and Tex. train from Kansas City to Me Alster, Ok. buying a berth in a sleeper. Oklahoma has the Jim Crow law. When the train reached the Oklahoma line the colored man was ordered to move into the colored coach. He refused and a deputy sheriff was called. He was fired $13. In his suit in the District Court in Kansas City, the colored-man sought to recover the fina, $3,81 fare from Vitata to McAlester and $60,000 damages. The jury at the trail of the case brought a verdict for the defendants. It was contended that the Oklahoma law could not apply to the interstate passengers. The Court of Appeals held that railroads have a right to separate the races, as long as the same accommodations are provided for each. Virginia Negro Ordained In Rockefeller's Church.
